BIT 510: Core Technologies in Molecular and Cellular Biology (Fall 2024)
​​
​Basic technologies of recombinant DNA procedures, gene expression, isolation, and identification of nucleic acids and proteins.
​
Throughout the semester, students were tasked to design an experiment to create a recombinant protein of their choice. I decided to use the SHBG gene to produce a protein that would assess testosterone binding in human liver cells. The hypothetical goal I see for this recombinant protein is to eventually be used in studies that address conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), androgen-related disorders, and hormone-dependent cancers where SHBG levels are altered.
ST 513: Statistics for Management and Social Sciences I (Fall 2024)
​
Introduces important ideas about collecting high quality data and summarizing that data appropriately both numerically and graphically. Explore the use of probability distributions to model data and find probabilities. Estimation of parameters and properties of estimators are discussed. Construction and interpretation of commonly used confidence intervals and hypothesis tests are investigated. Students will gain considerable experience working with data. SAS Software is used throughout the course with the expectation of students being able to produce their own analyses.
